John Gill Commentary Numbers 34:7

"And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;" — Numbers 34:7 (ASV)

And this shall be your northern border
What follows:

from the great sea you shall point out for you Mount Hor; not that Mount Hor on which Aaron died, for that was on the southern border of the land; but rather Mount Herman, which is said to be unto the entering into Hamath, (Joshua 13:5) as this Mount Hor is in the following verse; or some part of Mount Lebanon might be so called, which was the northern border of the land: the Targum of Jonathan calls it Umanus; and the Jerusalem Targum, Manus or Taurus Umanus, the Mountain Umanus, which divided Syria and Cilicia; it is joined with Lebanon by Josephus ^F16, and with that and Carmel by Aelianus ^F17.
